Jarvis is a lunar crater that lies on the far side of the Moon. It is located within the Apollo walled plain, and lies in the eastern half of this basin within the interior ring.

The Jarvis crater has a low, somewhat worn outer rim that is generally circular. There is a wide break in the south-southeastern portion of the rim where is it partly overlaid by McNair crater. The latter is younger than Jarvis, since its rim still survives where it intersects the interior of Jarvis. The interior of the crater is otherwise undistinguished, being marked only by tiny craters and some low ridges along the ramparts of McNair.

This crater was previously designated 'Borman Z', a satellite crater of Borman, before being assigned its own name by the IAU.
